What is the greatest evil against Allah? The greatest evil done by men against Allah is not to recognize that there is no God except Allah and not to recognize that Muhammad is the Prophet of Allah. What is the greatest evil done by those who have recited the Great Kalimah against Allah? The greatest evil done by those who have recited the Great Kalimah against Allah is not to do the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils. The second great evil done by those who have recited the Great Kalimah against Allah is not to perform the five times daily prayers. In my opinion when the first order of Allah is already established in the country then only the second order of Allah will have to be established in the country. What is the second order of Allah? The second order of Allah is to perform the five times daily prayers. Once the first and the second order of Allah are established in the country then only the next order of Allah will have to be established in the country. The next order of Allah to be established in a country that wanted to become an Islamic country is the order of zakat which is fardu or obligatory only to those who are rich and wealthy in the country. In my opinion, these are the three most important orders of Allah to be established in any country that wishes to become an Islamic country. Who has given Muhammad Mursi the power to rule Mesir? Allah has given Muhammad Mursi the power to rule Mesir. In my opinion the power which is given to Muhammad Mursi to rule Mesir should be used to establish the above first three orders of Allah which are mentioned above and not to change the constitutions of Mesir in order to ensure the President will have the position above the laws.
When Muhammad Mursi wanted to change the constitutions of Mesir, in order to enable him to have positioned above the laws, there were thousands of people protesting in Tahrir square demanding him to step down as the President of Mesir. In my opinion the action to change the constitutions of Mesir in order to enable the President to have positioned above the law is not a very wise action of the President. In my opinion, one of the earliest tasks to be accomplished by Muhammad Mursi as the President of Mesir was to unite the peoples of Mesir and to make the armies to obey him. In my opinion the process of making Mesir to become an Islamic state should take a long and slow process. We have to make the process to make Mesir an Islamic state a long and slow process so that in case we make mistakes along the process then it is easy for us to recover from the mistake. In case, we make the process of making Mesir an Islamic state, a fast and drastic pace then it will be difficult for us to go back to the correct path when in case we makes mistakes along the process. When we wanted a change anything in this world the change must take a very slow process because it is a rule in this world, everything in this world take time to change. All changes in this world are taking a slow pace. Only the changes in paradise will take a fast and drastic pace. What should be the first action of Muhammad Mursi as the first civilian President of Mesir? In my opinion the first action which Muhammad Mursi should do as the first civilian President of Mesir is establish the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils in every mosque or localities in Mesir. With the permission of Allah, the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils will prepare the mind and believe of the Muslims in every locality in Mesir to finally accept the idea that Mesir should become an Islamic state. Muslims in all over the world should not follow the style of the Taliban who wanted the Muslims in Afghanistan to change to become better Muslims by forcing the Muslims to follow the rules from the Quran. There is no one in this world who will obey the rules from the Quran without becoming the believers and there is no one who will become the believers after reciting the Great Kalimah without doing the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils in the way done by Prophet Muhammad saw.
Mohammad Mursi wanted to change the constitutions of Mesir to follow the Quran and Sunnah. In my opinion there is no need to change the constitutions of Mesir to follow the Quran and Sunnah when the Muslims in Mesir are not the believers. Many Muslims are able to read the Quran but since they are not believers they are not able to obey the Quran. In my opinion, there will be no one in Mesir who will obey the constitution of Mesir which is drafted according to the Quran and Sunnah if the Muslims in Mesir are not the believers. What is the first action which should be taken by a President who wanted his country to become an Islamic country? The first action which should be taken by a President who wanted his country to become an Islamic country is to make all the Muslims in his country to become the believers. Muslims will only become the believers when they do the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils in the way shown by Prophet Muhammad saw. What is the situation of the Muslims in this world today? When the name Islamic state is mentioned to the Muslims and the non-Muslims there are so many peoples from among the Muslims or the non-Muslims in this world who are allergic with the word Islamic state. Why there are so many peoples in this world who are allergic with the word Islamic state? They become allergic with the word Islamic state because there are Muslims like the Taliban who wanted to establish an Islamic state and yet they do not know the way to establish an Islamic state.
When the Taliban are not believers and yet they wanted to establish Afghanistan as an Islamic state, they make many mistakes or many wrong actions. The many wrong actions of the Taliban have made many peoples who are either Muslims or non-Muslims in this world to become allergic with the word of Islamic state. When Muhammad Mursi wanted to change the constitution of Mesir to follow the Quran and the Sunnah, it had given a clear indication to the Muslims in Mesir and to the peoples of the whole world that Muhammad Mursi is about to make Mesir an Islamic state. The actions of Muhammad Mursi to change the constitution of Mesir to follow the Quran and Sunnah have created much anxiety not only among the Muslims in Mesir but also among those followers of Hosni Mubarak, the armies and all the Muslims who are not in favour of making Mesir an Islamic state. When this situation of much anxiety among the peoples arises in Mesir then the Muslims who are not in favour of Muhammad Mursi to become the President of Mesir are using the anxieties of the peoples as the weapon to overthrow Mohammad Mursi. The action of Mohammad Mursi to recite the azan, while giving lecture also give the impression to the peoples of Mesir that Mohammad Mursi is an extremist who is probably similar to the Taliban. In the PASt there were many Muslims leaders in this world who wanted to establish Islamic laws in their countries. In the PASt there were many Muslims leaders who had failed to make their countries to become an Islamic state. They had failed to make their countries an Islamic state because they do not have the knowledge on how to make their countries an Islamic state. They do not have the knowledge which order of Allah is to be established first before the country is able to become an Islamic country. Taliban had failed in making Afghanistan an Islamic state. Similarly Pakistani Muslims had failed in making Pakistan an Islamic state. Now the Muslims Brotherhood of Mesir had also failed in making Mesir an Islamic state.
Pakistan was created in 1947 because the Muslims of India wanted to establish a separate Islamic state. What happen to Pakistan now? Is Pakistan is an Islamic state? Although Pakistan is known to the Muslims in the whole world to be a country which is strong in the work of Jemaah Tabligh but to the peoples of the whole world, Pakistan is known to be the most unsafe or dangerous country to live in this world. Pakistan and Afghanistan are rated by the United Nations to be the countries which produce terrorism or the countries which are the most volatile places to live on earth. Is this an Islamic country or a terrorist country? What was the original aim of creating Pakistan? The original aim of creating Pakistan was to establish an Islamic state of Pakistan. Pakistan was initially created as west and east Pakistan and both parts of Pakistan are inhabited by Muslims. In 1971 Muslims from the west and Muslims from the east were killing each other in a war, which has led to the creation of another state of the Muslims in India which is known as Bangladesh. In my opinion the situation in Pakistan in 1971 is probably the same as the situation in Mesir in 2013. In both situations the Muslims are killing other Muslims. Why the Muslims in Mesir are killing each other? They are killing each other because both groups of the Muslims wanted to have the power to rule Mesir. Why Muslims Brotherhood wanted to have power to rule Mesir? Muslims Brotherhood wanted to have power to rule Mesir because they said they wanted to establish the Islamic laws in Mesir. Why the other group wanted to have power to rule Mesir? They said they wanted to have power to rule Mesir because they wanted to maintain Mesir a secular state.
Is to establish Islamic laws in a country, the order of Allah? In my opinion, Allah only orders the Muslims whom Allah has given the power to rule a country, to establish Islamic laws in the country. Allah does not order the Muslims whom Allah has not given the power to rule a country to establish Islamic laws in the country. Allah orders Muslims to work to earn a living but Allah does not order Muslims to work to earn power and wealth. Allah gives power and wealth to whoever Allah wants. Allah gives power and wealth to a believer in order to examine the iman of the believer. Allah continues to examine the iman of the believer until the believers had PASsed the entire test or the examination which are given by Allah to the believers. With the entire entire test or the examination which are given by Allah to the believers the iman of the believer become further increased. Allah orders the Muslims to earn iman and good actions or to earn the nearness to Allah. Allah also orders Muslims to earn their needs but Allah does not order Muslims to earn wealth and power. Allah gives wealth and power to the persons who are not the believers as calamities but Allah gives wealth and power to the believers as trials or examinations.The persons who are not the believers will use the wealth and power which are given by Allah as the means to disobey the orders of Allah. When they use the power and the wealth which are given by Allah to disobey the orders of Allah, Allah will send calamities to them in this world and in the hereafter. The persons who are the believers will use the wealth and power which are given by Allah to them as the means to obey the orders of Allah. When the believers use the power and the wealth which are given by Allah to them for obeying the orders of Allah, Allah will send blessings to them in this world and in the hereafter. It is not the order of Allah to work in order to earn power and wealth. Allah orders Muslims to work in order to earn a living. Allah does not order Muslims to work hard in order to earn wealth and power but Allah orders the Muslims to work hard in order to earn iman and good actions. Allah promises to the Muslim, that He will give to the Muslims the power and wealth, when the Muslims have obtained good iman and good actions. Allah does not order the Muslims to earn wealth and power? Allah does not order the Muslims to earn power in order to establish the Islamic laws in a country? The order to establish the Islamic laws in a country are given only to those whom Allah has given the power, to rule the country
When Muslims are not given by Allah the power to rule a country, then there is no order for the Muslims to earn power in order to establish Islamic laws in the country. Allah does not order the Muslims in Mesir to earn power in order to establish Islamic laws in Mesir. Allah orders all the Muslims not only in Mesir but Muslims in all over the world to invite mankind to good and prevent mankind from evils as done by Prophet Muhammad saw. When Muslims do the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils as done by Prophet Muhammad saw and also with the intention only to please Allah then Allah will make the Muslims to become believers and have good actions. When Muslims have become believers and have good actions then Allah will give to the believers the power to rule not only Mesir but the power to rule the whole world. Allah does not order the Muslims to earn power and wealth but Allah orders the Muslims to earn the love of Allah or to earn good iman and good actions. Muslims will only earn the love of Allah when the Muslims have good iman and good actions. Muslims will only have good iman and good actions when Muslims are doing the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils as done by Prophet Muhammad saw. In my opinion, it is not justified for Muslims to be killed only because they wanted to gain power in order to establish the Islamic laws in a country. It is even not justified for Muslims to be killed when the order to gain power in order to establish the Islamic laws in a country is not the order of Allah?
Allah never orders Muslims to gain power in order to establish the Islamic laws in a country as power only belongs to Allah. Allah has promised to the Muslims that Allah will give power to the Muslims and Allah will make the Muslims who have good iman and good actions to become the Khilafah on this earth. Allah orders Muslims to earn the love of Allah not to earn wealth and power. When Muslims have earned the love of Allah, Allah will give to the Muslims the power to rule the earth. In my opinion, Muslims should only die in the cause of obeying the order of Allah or in the cause of earning the love of Allah. In my opinion the Muslims should die only in the cause of doing the work of inviting mankind to good and preventing mankind from evils in the way done by Prophet Muhammad saw and not to die in the work to earn power and wealth. When Muslims are inviting the non-Muslims to recite the Great Kalimah it means the Muslims are doing the work of inviting mankind to good and preventing mankind from evils. When Muslims are inviting other Muslims to obey the orders of Allah particularly the first and the second order of Allah, it means the Muslims are doing the work of inviting mankind to good and preventing mankind from evils.
Muslims are ordered to bear patiently to those who are doing evils to them. What it means by the word to bear patiently? The word, to bear patiently in the verse of the Quran means, to return evil actions with good actions. What is the best action? The best action means to invite the non-Muslims to recite the Great Kalimah. What is the best action of those who have recited the Great Kalimah? The best action of those who have recited the Great Kalimah is to do the work of inviting men to good and preventing men from evils. When Muslims have the intention to kill each other, either they are killed or they are being killed by the other Muslims, both of them will enter the hellfire. One time in a battle with the non-Muslims there was one companion of the Prophet saw who had killed one non-Muslim who at the time when the companion was about to kill him, had recited the Great Kalimah. Prophet Muhammad saw asked the companion the reason why he had killed a person, who had recited the Great Kalimah. The companion told Prophet Muhammad saw that he had killed the person who had recited the Great Kalimah because that person was not sincere in reciting the Great Kalimah and that he had recited the Great Kalimah because he feared death. Our Prophet Muhammad saw told the companion who had killed the person who had recited the Great Kalimah whether the companion knows what is inside the person’s heart. This story clearly shows to all the Muslims in this world that Allah and Prophet Muhammad saw has forbidden Muslims to kill those who have recited the Great Kalimah or in other word, Allah and Prophet Muhammad saw has forbidden Muslims to kill other Muslims.
Muslims are not allowed to kill anyone who has recited the Great Kalimah even the one who has recited the Great Kalimah is a hypocrite or a munafiqin. There is no one who knows that a person is a munafiqin or hypocrite except Allah. Our Prophet Muhammad saw knows who the munafiqin are because Allah had told him who the munafiqin are. What is happening to Mesir now is a great shame to all the Muslims in the whole world. Now, in Mesir the Muslims are killing other Muslims. What has happened to Mesir also happen in Pakistan, Afghanistan and many other Muslims countries in this world? It seems to me, that the Muslims in the whole world are not having the leaders to lead them or not having the Muslims scholars who are able to solve their problems. What has happened to the Muslims now? It is a shame that the person who becomes the mediator to solve the problems of the Muslims is not the ulama of the Muslims or the Muslims leaders but the President of USA and the leaders of the European Unions. What Muslims are good at? It seems the Muslims in this world are good only in creating problems but are not good at solving their own problems. In my opinion what has happened to the Muslims now in this world only to show to me and to all the other Muslims in this world that now the Muslims are not the best nation which Allah has promised to the Muslims in the Quran? Why the promise of Allah to make the Muslims to become the best nation is not fulfilled by Allah?
Allah promised that Muslims will become the best nation in this world, when Muslims have become the believers and have good actions. When Muslims are not doing the work of inviting mankind to good and preventing mankind from the evils in the way shown by the Prophet Muhammad saw and with intention to please only Allah, Allah will not make Muslims to become believers. When Muslims are not believers, the promise of Allah to make the Muslims the best nation in this world will not be fulfilled by Allah. The promise to make Muslims the best nation is meant only for the Muslims who have become the believers. Muslims will become believers only when Muslims are doing the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils. When Muslims are not doing the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils not only the Muslims do not become the believers but Allah will not grant the prayers of the Muslims, Allah will not grant the wishes of the Muslims and Allah will not assist the Muslims against their enemies.
